Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in Cesium Vapor with a Single Photon Probe Beam

David Höckel, Lars Koch, Oliver J. Benson

An experimental setup designed to store light pulses inside a cesium vapor cell by employing electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is described. Probe laser pulses containing ∼ 10 photons per pulse are delayed through the EIT effect.

Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in Cesium Vapor with Probe Pulses on the Single-Photon Level

David Höckel, Oliver J. Benson

We perform electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) experiments in cesium vapor with pulses on the single-photon level for the first time. This was made possible by an extremely large total suppression of the EIT coupling beam by 118 dB mainly due to a newly developed triple-pass planar Fabry-Pérot etalon filter. Slowing and shaping of single-photon light pulses as well as the generation of pulses suitable for quantum key distribution applications and testing of approaches for single photon storage is demonstrated. Our results extend single-photon EIT to the particularly interesting wavelength of the Cs D1 line.

Tunable electromagnetically induced transparency in integrated silicon photonics circuit

Ang Li, Wim Bogaerts

We comprehensively simulate and experimentally demonstrate a novel approach to generate tunable electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a fully integrated silicon photonics circuit. It can also generate tunable fast and slow light. The circuit is a single ring resonator with two integrated tunable reflectors inside, which form an embedded Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity inside the ring cavity. The mode of the FP cavity can be controlled by tuning the reflections using integrated thermo-optic tuners. Under correct tuning conditions, the interaction of the FP mode and the ring resonance mode will generate a Fano resonance and an EIT response. The extinction ratio and bandwidth of the EIT can be tuned by controlling the reflectors. Measured group delay proves that both fast light and slow light can be generated under different tuning conditions. A maximum group delay of 1100 ps is observed because of EIT. Pulse advance around 1200 ps is also demonstrated.
